Topsides refits
•
Please ask Cantiere del Pardo information on the gel coat, the catalyst and the
catalysing time, percentage and temperature, taking into consideration that if the
temperature is lower than 16° C, it is better not to operate.
•
Before starting the operation, dry perfectly the intervention area and remove the grease or dirt
with some acetone.
•
Sand the intervention area, then remove the dust.
•
Add the right percentage of catalyst according to the quantity of gel coat used; then, apply the
gel coat on the intervention area, remembering to use an abundant quantity, as it shrinks.
•
To obtain a level surface, cover the repaired area with cellophane and then press to flatten it.
•
When the gel coat is completely catalysed (follow the product instructions to know the
catalysing time) and hardened, it can be treated with the 600 water abrasive paper.
•
Then use the Polish and the wax.
Teak deck
•
We recommend you to rinse and clean the teak with fresh water and a brush with bristles of
medium hardness (too hard bristles could scratch the wooden surface) and treat it periodically
(once a year) with special oil for teak.
Caution:
always use the brush following the direction of the wood grain.
Bottom
•
Cantiere del Pardo normally applies the antifouling paint.
•
To prevent the coming off of the antifouling paint, owing to the presence of silicone wax traces
on the hull when it has been removed from its stamp, it is necessary to well clean the bottom of
the hull before applying the antifouling paint.
•
Do not sand the hull to clean it, but just use the jet of pressurized water.
•
To obtain high performances, it is necessary to frequently clean the bottom, using just the
pressurized water jet.
•
We remind you that the antifouling paints contain toxic agents that are dangerous for your eyes,
skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, when repairing the bottom, equip yourself properly to
avoid any contact with the paint.
